This breed is classed in Britain as a VNB - a breed which originated in the UK but now has registration numbers with the Kennel Club of less then 300 puppies per year. |

'''Petruchio''' (also spelled '''Petruccio''') is a fictional dramatic character and the male romantic lead in ''[[The Taming of the Shrew]]'' by [[William Shakespeare]]. Petruchio is a fortune seeker who enters into a marriage with a fiesty young woman named [[Kate (The Taming of the Shrew)|Kate]] and then proceeds to "tame" her. The character, play, Petruchio's methods, and Kate's fifth act soliloquy have excited controversy among feminists and modern critics. |

I'm a Canadian teenager on a gap year before Uni and I'm really interested in this. Would anyone like a VNB paragraph/link on this page? I can write it, but am ignorant about formatting etc. Plus, I'm trying to put together a whole collection on all 29 breeds on this list, including history and so on, using Wikipedia as one of my many sources. If you can help, or are interested at all, please contact me either on my talk page or at green_ied_dragon@hotmail.com |

I find it hard to believe that the corgi is the oldest herding breed in the world. Can you provide sources for this information? [[User:Elf|Elf]] | [[User talk:Elf|Talk]] 18:05, 28 February 2006 (UTC) |

:The 3000 year estimate is widely published, but given that pems and cardis were treated as one breed 100 years ago, it is unsupported. There have been short legged farm dogs in Wales for a long time, but that's hardly an enyclopediac statement. [[User:Ronstew|Ronstew]] 02:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC) |

This is the first time I've heard that Corgi's and Dachshund's were related is there a source for this? The modern dachshund traces it's lineage back a several hundred years, but the corgi may be quite a bit older than that. |

::Cardigans don't decend from Dachshunds, specifically, but from Teckel dogs, and have a common ancestor with the Dachshunds. It's the structure of the forequarters that make it a Teckel dog - it's got bent forearms, where the Pembroke has straight legs. It's probably closer to the Basset Hound. But, as it's a very old breed with a lost history, the decent and age of Cardigans is a theory accepted by almost all breeders and enthusiasts.

== the Fairy Steed == |
|||
My wife who is a big fan of the breed and had owned four of them (including our current two - Buddy and Cindy Lou) has said they were at one time called the fairy steed because of a unique small "hump" on the top of their backs that fairies supposedly used to hold on to while riding. She is not sure about the facts here, if anyone has clarification, please post. |

An anonymous user has posted a link to a local rescue group. Clicking through the link, I find an all-breeds shelter in San Antonio. I don't think that the link is appropriate for the article, as Wikipedia is not meant to be a web directory. This can be a "thin edge of the wedge."

Revision as of 10:22, 11 October 2008
Petruchio (also spelled Petruccio) is a fictional dramatic character and the male romantic lead in The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. Petruchio is a fortune seeker who enters into a marriage with a fiesty young woman named Kate and then proceeds to "tame" her. The character, play, Petruchio's methods, and Kate's fifth act soliloquy have excited controversy among feminists and modern critics.
Petruchio is a tour de force role physically that has attracted notable performers. Richard Burton played the part in a 1967 film directed by Franco Zeffirelli with his wife Elizabeth Taylor opposite him as Kate.[1] Other interpreters include Charlton Heston in a Studio One episode, and, Heath Ledger as a Petruchio counterpart in 10 Things I Hate About You (1999). Cole Porter adapted the play to the musical comedy Kiss Me Kate with Howard Keel playing the Petruchio character in the film version.
